Look for cottage cheese with only 4 percent milk fat to keep this any-time-of-day snack at around 110 calories per half cup, with 5g fat, 15g protein, 2g of sugar. Mix in a half cup of fresh (not canned) chopped pineapple to add flavor and texture. “The protein in the cottage cheese helps to balance the sugar content in the pineapple so it will keep you satisfied longer”, says Cindy Whitmarsh, of Ultrafit Nutrition Systems.
